The Ru,,et That killed Nelson

Half Of the bullet which killed Lord
Nelson is now in the possession of Capt.
John II. Burton, of Hamden, Conn. He
tells the story thus: John Hepburn,
granduncle of Capt. Burton, and after
whom he was named, was sailing master
of the Victory, Nelson's flagship. After
Nelson was wounded he was removed to
the cockpit of his vessel, and the sur
geon, after extracting the bullet, cut it
into two pieces, and gave one to Capt.
Hardy, of the Victory, and the other to
Sailing Master Hepburn. The latter gen
tleman served in similar capacity on a
number of vessels, and once, while on
the Turkish coast, he had native artist
Of Turkey construct an ivory case, in
which the half Of the bullet he had was
placed, and In which it has been safely
kept ever since. Chicago Times.

Sore Eyes

The eyes are always in sympathy with
the body, and afford an excellent index
of its condition. When the eyes become
weak; and the lids infamed and sore, it
is an evidence that the system has
become disordered by Scrofula, for
which Ayers Sarsaparilla is the best
known remedy.
Scrofula, which produced painful in
f1ammation in my eyes, caused me much
suffering for number of years. By the
advice of a physician commenced taking
Ayers Sarsaparilla. After using this
medicine short time was completely
Cured
My eyes are now in a splendid condi-
ton, and am as we'll and strong as ever.
Mrs. William Gage, Concord, N. 81.
For number of years 1 was troubled
with humor in my eyes, and was unable
to obtain any relief until l commenced
using Ayers Sarsaparilla. This medi-
cine has effected complete cure, and
believe it to be the best of blood puri-
tiers. &C. E. Upton, Nashua, N. 81.
From childhood, and until with few
and Sore Eyes. I have used for these
complaints, with beneficial results,
Ayers Sarsaparilla, and consider it
great blood purifier. - Mrs. G. Phillips,
Glover, vt.
I suffered for year with inflamma-
ton in my left eye. Three ulcers formed
on the ball, depriving me of sight, and
causing great pain. After trying many
other remedies, to no purpose, 1 was final
ly induced to use Ayers Sarsaparilla.
BY Taking
three bottles of this medicine I have been
entirely cured. My sight has been re-
stored, and there is no sign of inflamma-
ton, sore, or ulcer in my eye Kendall
I. Bowen, Sugar Tree Ridge, Ohio.
Ny daughter, ten years old, was afflict-
ed with Scrofulous Sore Eyes. During
the last two years she never saw light of
any kind. Physicians of the highest
standing exerted their skill, but with no
permanent success. On the recommen-
dation of a friend purchased a bottle of
Ayers Sasaparilla, which my daughter
commenced taking Before she had used
the third bottle her sight was restored.
Her cure is complete. - w. E. Suther-

Colonel Boynton is at Fargo IL

Colonel Boynton is at Fargo this week
attending to his duties as railroad COM
missioner. Since the resignation of John
Hewitt as postmaster at Canton, who
was liable to removal on account of offens-
i've partisanship, federal officials are keep
ing sharp eye on the movements of
Colonel Boynton and Governor Church,
who have strong inclination to turn all
the rascals out. The Colonel was at Eden
the other day, bent seemingly upon moth
ing of vast importance, but suspicious
ones tell us that he is now after the Eden
postofice and was securing the township
for good old Jefersonian one state dem
ocrat. With Canton, LeDnox, Fairview
and Maple Grove boasting democratic
postmasters it begins to look like dem

towns, and drug stores running wide open
everywhere else. So long as men will
drink, and according to Neal Dow the
most stringent prohibitory laws fail to
stop them, so long is it better to make the
saloons pay for the damage it causes.
Theories must bend to the logic of facts.
Prohibition acts like novelty; everyone
votes for it to keep his ncighbor from
drinking. Very benevolent But when
his own chances are cut off he grows in
dignant, and the man who voted for it
yesterday is against it tomorrow. This
is the case in every prohibit on state.

More than half of all the iron and steel
produced in the United States since 1865
has been used in the construction and
equipment of railways. At the present
time the railway mileage in the United
States exceeds that of the whole of Eu-
rope. While at the beginning of 1865
there were only $4,000 miles of railway
in operation in this country, there are at
present 100000 miles. The railway con-
struction of the present year will probab-
ly reach 1000 miles of new track unless
the railway killing bill should inter
fere.

A Canton COurf Scene

Fred Carruth in Dakota Bell: Court business
is reported lively at Canton. The other day du
ring trial at that place the judge happened to fall
asleep for few minutes and during this judicia
nap the plaintiff and defendants attorney became
involved In discussion on legal question. The
showing his fist in the defendants face The defend
ant then brought up large armchair as an srgu
ment and began to swing It around as if he meant
to hit the legal gentleman on the head. The attor
ney got ont si1-shooter about this time and begar
to shoot the defendant around on the edges where
it wouldn't hurt much. While the attorney wat
loading up and the defendant was looking for
heavier chair the judge happened to wake up and
seeing that hard feelings wore being engendered
kicked on the floor for order and proceeded with
the trial, while the spectators came out from be-
hind tables, chairs, des ks, etc., where they had re-
tired with loud cries OF "Let him have it!" The
judge is severely censured for waking up.

"As a rule the people who 20 to a ne


country to find homes are those of little
or no means-the unfortunate or those
who have not got start in life, says the
St. Paul Globe. In all the larger nako-
ia towns many of the leading and most
prosperous citizens came out from a finan,
cial cloud somewhere in the states, and, for
reasons readily inferred commenced bust
ness in the names OF their wives. Those
good ladies have generally been prosper
ous, and in many instances can be called
wealthy, while their energetic, pushing
husbands are still without possessions to
invite the jealousy Of old creditors in the
states. Those who have had occasion
to examine the records express much
surprise at the extent and character Of
this sort of proxy business. Whether
there is illustration Of commercial integ
rity or nice moral discrimination, is not
now considered. The point in hand is:
that Dakota has afforded and still affords
remarkable facilities and opportunities
for rebuilding wrecked finances or rapid
Development of thrift and prosperity.
To the empty handed, honest toiler, it
offers land of phenomenal fertility on
terms within the reach of all. One can
hardly go anywhere, by the time crops
are ready for market, railroad will not
be within easy reach. Uulike the old
time the Dakota settlers need not de.
prive himself of social, educational and
religious advantages. They follow close
after him and the hardships of a new
country will be found few and transitory.
Men, and women too of pluck and perse-
yererance can do we'll in Dakota without
money, and if they have money and sense
enough to invest tjudiciously, it will multi
ply for them with rapidity as gratifying
as surprising.

Telephone Prophecy,

The prophet Isaiah, in the fewest pos
sible words, describes the construction Of
railroads:
every valley shall be exalted and
every mountain and hill shall be made
low, and the crooked shall be made
straight and the rough places plain.
And the glory of the Lord shall be re-
vealed, and all flesh shall see ittogether. =
The prophet Habakkuk in the fewest
words possible describes the telephone.
For the stone shall cry out Of the wall,
and the beam out of the timber shall
answer it. = Second chapter, eleventh
verse; fourteenth verse: "For the earth
shall be filled with the knowledge Of the
glory Of the Lord. as the waters cover
the sea. Both Of these prophesies are
located in a class Of dispensational prophe-
cies. easily identified. Cor. Hartford

The Atlana, Ga, Defiance, an organ of
the colored race, thinks it sees wave
coming that will sweep the Hon. Robert
I. Lincoln, of Chicago, into the presi-
Dental chair. There may be no good
reason why Mr. Lincoln should receive
very many more colored votes than any
other leader OF his party, but if he should
be nominated there probably wouldn't be
hatful polled against him by the
colored people in the whole United
States.
